Shoes in the COnfederacy.

The Charleston IS. C.) Meas, alluding
to Mr.. David Dodge's article in the At-
lantic Monthly in relation to the alleged
expedients resorted to by the people OF
the Southern Confederacy to meet the
necessities imposed upon them by the
enforc ement of the blockade during the
war, and especially the assertion re-
specting the use of wooden bottoms for
shoes, says: "The one fact that is con-
tanned in the whole mass of rubbish, SO
far as we can learn, is that few wood
bottom shoes were made and worn
in some parts of the South in the latter
part of the war, when they were regard
ed with as much curiosity as they would
be regarded now. 1t is true, indeed,
that wood had long been worn by the
slaves and by some of The white people.
in their shoes, before the war, but the
foot coverings of this description were
manufactured at the North; were bought
for 'all leather;' and the woodwork,
apart from the pegs, consisted in eX-
ceedingly thin shavings, which were
deftly concealed in the soles, and were
made to take the place of the paste
board filling that is sometimes used for
the same purpose at the present day.
The sabots, which Mr. Dodge describes
so minutely, we never heard of before,
and the fact that even few wooden
soles were made and worn at the time
he specifies will be news to the vast ma
iority of the people whom he represents
as having brought them into general
use A Confederate officer, who is now
living in Massachusetts,, and who has
read Mr.. Dodge's testimony, writes tc
us to say that he served under Genera
Price in Missouri, with Van Dorm II
Arkansas, with Beauregard and Bragg
in the West, with Johnston in Georgia,
and with Hood to the end, and never
saw anything of the kind which Mr.
Dodge describes Our observation is
entirely in accord with that of our cor
respondent, and we are, therefore, COM
PEELED to believe that Mr.. Dodge has
either drawn on his imagination for his
facts or has fallen into the not infrequent
error of generalizing bis own individual
experience"

Soldiers SnOwbal ling.

In January, 1864, while the Confeder.
ate troops were in winter quarters at
Dalton, there came big snow storm
and 90, 900 troops went into a regular
organized snowballing, On one side OF
a branch was the parade ground of the
Georgia and South arolina troops, ana
back of that the quarters. On the OPP
posite side of the branch waJ the parade
ground of the Tennesseeans and back of
their parade ground were their quarters.
The ground was frozen to depth of five
feet, the snow was foot deep and no
indications of melting. A day was ap-
pointed for snow battle. The Tennes-
seeans marched out and formed line OF
battle, their drums beating, bugles blow.
ing, colors flying and Officers mounted.
Every soldier had knapsack full OF
snowballs. The GeorgianS formed and
prepared to make the attack by crossing
the branch There were 10, 900 men on
each side and the scene was very impos
ing. AS soon as the Georgians crossed
the branch they met terrific fusilade
from the Tennesseeans, who were at
home in the snow. The commander OF
the Tennesseeans, a handsome fellow
named Gordon, who was from Franklin,
Tenn, was captured, but a bold dash
was made by the Tennesseeans, and he
was rescued. The Georg ans and South
Carolinians, being unused to the snow,
were at great disadvantage and were
forced to back across the branch. AS
the Tennessceans crossed the branch
they wet their snowballs, and the next
volley fired at the Georgia and Caroline
BOYS was terrible in its effect. Pressing
on, the Tennesseeans captured the quar-
tiers and proceeded to loot the who {
shebang, carrying off rations, tobacco
pipes, and everything that did not be
long to the government. That snow
balling, in which 20 600 men took part
was no doubt the biggest thing of thu
kind tat ever occurred in Georgia, o.
will ever occur again. n.-Atlanta (Ga.

The Fest of Steel.

A shrewd Chinaman has hit upon ar
article of export from Germany which
has thus far escaped the attention of the
money getting Teutons. 1t is neither
more nor less than cast-off horse shoes
of which some Berlin firms are about tc
ship some 5000 to 1900 tons. The
"heathen Chinee" has found out that
the wrought iron, of which horse shoes
are made, owing to tae constant and
even hammering on the pavement, to-
gether with the equine animal heat
gradually assumes hardness of steel
combined with great malleability and
elasticity, qualities which fit them moro
especially for the manufacture of knives
and sword blades.

An Anxious Cashier.

A New York bank cashier at 10 o'clock
every night walks up Fifth avenue to
sec whether or not a certain millionaire's
front door has Grape tied on it. For
over four years he has made this nightly
Journey. He doesn't know the million
aire nor any reason why his death should
be expected. Yet he has a superstition
that when he discovers the Grape he
ooks for, on the same night some great
good fortune is to fall to his lot. He
has tried to shake off this feeling, but it
will not depart. The Grape may appear
